Wi-Fi in the Sky

News - If you're interested in having the potential for limited e-mail and messaging capabilities while in flight; then JetBlue may be the carrier of choice. It has been announced that JetBlue Airways Corp. has will be offering passengers the ability to use e-mail and Yahoo messaging while in the air. You won't be allowed to be connected during take-off and landing but the time in between can be used to send/receive e-mails or message co-workers. You still won't be able to surf the Internet or use attachments with your e-mail as the bandwidth is limited.

Rather than using cellular signals, JetBlue has available a wireless spectrum that will be used. It is an interesting step towards enabling passengers to stay connected while in-flight but how popular will it really be?
